Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
With an injury to the knee joint, it is difficult to assess any ligament damage without MRI scan. If you are young and have had derangement of knee, it's bet to get MRI scan of knee to know the problem. Then it will be good to take necessary treatment. Should you have any doubts if suggested knee surgery, you can always take second opinion.
Hope this helps
